Struggle with learning from words?

Ugh..

It just occurred with me that I struggle with learning from words.

I struggle with this, but I'm also dyslexic. I prefer learning from doing

Also there are readers at university on the pcs to read all those boring research papers so now days there are ways around it

I need things shown to me or to have detailed, written down instructions. Otherwise it's hard to learn things.

I think it is really important to us to understand which ways we learn and understand the best. I used to try to understand videos and lectures, movies ,youtube and listen to podcasts but when I was diagnosed, I found out those were the worst ways for me to interact or get information. I have very low visual and audio processing neurology. I do best with the written word to interact and understand. I think if we know how we learn and understand best (doing, hearing, seeing, reading, etc) then we can adapt some of our ways to struggle less and get better information. Self accommodation can help so much in our every day ways of doing things. If you struggle with words, do you think you do better to watch and or listen, look at drawings, charts, maps and diagrams? It is so interesting how different our neurology set ups can be!
